“Bea the Beautiful” blazes the senses as the new Tanduay Calendar Girl

IT was a year of monumental changes for award-winning actress Bea Alonzo, and it has also been a year of growth.

Her transfer to GMA-7 after an illustrious two-decades-long career at ABS-CBN was the talk of the town this year, as people did not expect she will cross to the other side of the network fences.

But one thing for sure: “Bea the Beautiful” loves challenges and grabbed the opportunity to be more open in her perspective and her perception in life after what she’d gone through and is now ready to scale–and conquer–new heights.

This explains why she was the perfect choice to be the Tanduay Calendar Girl for 2022 as the brand is looking for someone brave and bold enough to try new things and is willing to change in order to grow and create a better version of herself.

“She is the Tanduay Calendar Girl we need during these uncertain times. Someone who will remind us that change can be a good thing, but you have to be strong as you breeze through these changes. No stress, just be calm and collected, so you can emerge beautifully out of every situation you are in,” said Marc Ngo, Tanduay Senior Brand Manager and International Business Development Manager.

He added that Bea is a top-caliber actress, who has remained relevant over the years and even during this pandemic.

She’s going through a transition in her career, a blossoming stage, if you may call it. She values her craft and her authenticity shines through,” Ngo said.

For her Tanduay Calendar Girl shoot, the team adopted the concept of La Dolce Vita. She was briefed about the theme but the talented actress was also given the leeway how she’d like to interpret it, of course with direction from the Creative Team.

I was really nervous at first because it was my first time to do a sexy photo shoot,” Alonzo confessed.

But for a self-confessed first-timer in a sexy photo shoot, Alonzo showed that she was all ready to conquer whatever concerns she had prior to the shoot. With the able handling of the Creative Team, Bea completed a photo session where she literally sizzled from start to finish, wearing tops of different hues, while staring at the cameras with smoldering sexiness, a piercing look that would melt hearts of stone. She was blazing-hot, yet still exuded class and artistry, proving that she is, indeed, a true and rare gem.

Ngo said that the shoot came out the way they envisioned it.

It was done tastefully with Bea exuding her natural, subtle sexiness into the whole composition. The setting is the countryside, which complemented the calming effect when one looks at Bea,” he said.

Alonzo expressed that she is more than excited to become part of the elite circle of women who became Tanduay Calendar Girls.

Each of them are not only beautiful, but have many admirable attributes as well. They’re strong, independent, and talented,” she said.

Alonzo is in great company, no doubt. The Tanduay Calendar Girls roster include the likes of Heart Evangelista, KC Concepcion, Ellen Adarna, Barbie Imperial, and 2021’s Ivana Alawi, among others.

Alonzo revealed that she was surprised at first and ecstatic the next when asked how she felt when she learned that she was chosen to represent the brand for next year.

“I couldn’t believe it! Tanduay is an iconic brand that is known all over the world and has received so many international awards. To be the Tanduay calendar girl is a huge honor,” Alonzo said.

Alonzo herself is no stranger to accolades, with so many awards attached to her name. In 2019, she was declared the “Leading Lady of the Century” by the Film Development Council of the Philippines. She also has several Best Actress awards for movies and TV, and has been a recipient of a Box Office Queen award and a Phenomenal Box Office Star award.

Apart from the Tanduay Calendar Girl project, the company is also exploring other collaborations with the actress.

As for her movie and TV projects for the coming year, fans can look forward to her first primetime teleserye as a Kapuso, and a movie with Embassy Whiskey brand ambassador Alden Richards, among others.

Tibay Tanduay. That’s something we need as we welcome the changes in our life. Have the courage to do something different. It’s only when you open yourself up to changes that you will grow as a person,” Alonzo said.
